The Minister of Economy, Luis “Toto” Caputo, supported the economic direction of the Government of Javier Milei and anticipated that “high-impact measures” are coming in the coming months.
During an interview on the Economists program on Public TV, the official combined a strong defense of the model with direct criticism of business sectors, who resist the new rules of the game.
“There are some who don't want to compete and who seek macroeconomic disorder to get what they want,” he said, referring to those businessmen who are used to the impoverishing model of Kirchnerism.
Caputo argued that the current economic scheme targets the entire population. “The economic model is for the 48 million Argentines,” he said, while stressing that the stability achieved is explained by fiscal balance. Along these lines, he contrasting with previous stages, stating that “before it was financed by raising taxes, debt or
issuance”.The minister also questioned the practices of some private sectors. “They want margins of 200%,” he said, defending economic openness and competition as tools to generate “more reasonable” prices compared to previous years
